My journey as a single adoptive mom to two teenage boys who spent years in foster care and a toy dachshund puppy, a westie mix, and a shepherd mix. Some might consider our home a combination of homeless shelter, fraternity house, and humane society. I call it home.

In the past few days I have gotten so many texts and email telling me I have been on people's hearts and minds and wondering how they can pray for me.

God...thank you for the AMAZING support system you have put in my life. These brothers and sisters in Christ mean everything to me. You have blessed me in ways I never knew existed.

My prayer is this. That our lives and our actions be an example to others that through Him all things are possible. That we are able to get through the rest of the month with grace and mercy toward each other, because while none of us (including me) would admit it the adoption is emotionally scary. Pray for rest.
